Their first day of training went smoothly, but Erica and Tessie were both exhausted.

Wesley had specially arranged a room for them, and asked them to follow the schedule of the other soldiers.

As soon as Erica saw the bed, she immediately climbed into it without even washing her face and feet. When her back touched the soft mattress, she fell asleep in a second.

Watching Erica sleeping soundly, Tessie shook her head helplessly. She had managed to wash her face first before going to bed.

The next morning, Gifford came to the military base again, but this time he was alone. As soon as he arrived, he first looked for Erica, who was currently doing some sit-ups. "Come with me," he ordered.

To his surprise, she refused. Shaking her head, she said unhesitatingly, "No, I won't go with you. I'm already doing well here."

Her training officer wasn't strict with her, and she could be lazy sometimes. Moreover, she was enjoying the company of the other soldiers in this squad.

If she followed Gifford to his squad, her life would be miserable.

Gifford had been indifferent to her since she returned, so she knew that he was still angry with her. If she joined his squad, he might vent his anger at her through their training activities. She wouldn't let him make her training experiences miserable.

Gifford looked at her discontentedly and said, "Why are you disobeying me? Just follow my command. Inside this base, you are not in the position to refuse."

"No way! I've already adapted to the training here. If you want to go, go by yourself." She could hardly imagine her life being trained by him for half a month.

Of course, Gifford knew what was in her mind. 'She knows that no one else can train her strictly other than me. She sure wants to train indolently, ' he thought.

The group of soldiers who was doing push-ups not too far away was stealing glances at them from time to time, and it didn't escape the sharp-witted Gifford. When their eyes met his, they immediately looked away and continued doing their push-ups.

Suddenly, Gifford thought of something. Matthew had already known that Erica was training here, and he was on his way here. "Okay. You can stay here if you want." He thought that M

er she wanted without minding all the people around them.

Witnessing such a scene made the dozens of soldiers not far away feel envious.

Even Gifford, who was standing next to them, couldn't help feeling envious too. He wondered if Chantel would also treat him like this one of these days.

"Matthew, I miss you so much!" After taking advantage of Matthew's lips, Erica wrapped her arms around his neck again and pressed her head against his cheek.

Despite his anger, he couldn't resist her enthusiasm and passion. She was like a bright sun that suddenly lightened up his mood. The fury in his eyes turned into sweetness in an instant.

Not far away, the soldiers who were training with Erica just now gathered and discussed among themselves. "What is the meaning of this? Why is Erica hugging him like that?"

"And she kissed him too. Do you think she is doing this on purpose to make single men like us jealous?"

"Erica said that her husband was very nice to her, and I believe her now. Look! They have been hugging for so long, but he still has no intention of putting her down. They are really showing off to us!"

"Oh, no! I can't watch them anymore. My heart is now full of envy."

Matthew could feel the people's envy from their stares.

But before he could say anything, Gifford glared at Erica and said, "Get down now. This is not a place for you to show off. Many people are watching you right now. Don't you feel ashamed? Go home if you two want to make out."
